Re: Word too long ??

[yacob sen]

Dear Ole

Thank you for your reply. It is indeed weird. I perhaps have to downgrade my ubuntu from 11.10 to 10.10 for my  Gnu parallel to work. I'm using the latest version of GNU parallel. But still get the same result.

Computers / CPU cores / Max jobs to run

1:local / 4 / 4

Computer:jobs running/jobs completed/%of started jobs/Average seconds to complete

Word too long.

then it stops.

Kind regards

Yacob

Yeah that is weird. I cannot reproduce the error.

Report bugs to <bug-parallel@gnu.org> or
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=parallel

Your bug report should always include:

* The output of parallel --version. If you are not running the latest
released version you should specify why you believe the problem is not
fixed in that version.

* A complete example that others can run that shows the problem. A
combination of seq, cat, echo, and sleep can reproduce most errors. If
you example requires large files, see if you can use make them by
something like seq 1000000>file.

If you suspect the error is dependent on your distribution, please see
if you can reproduce the error on one of these distibutions:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualboximage/files/
